My first culture for Staph Aureus was in the early 1980s. I've been culturing it on & off ever since. As CF bugs go it's a relatively docile one as long as it stays susceptible to oral antibiotics. Mine always has. Back when I first cultured it I was DXd with Bronchectasis and the were also thinking Sarcoidoisis. My CF DX wasn't until earlier this year. I started using HTS and Pulmozyme a few months ago and the combo of the two has just totally cleared up my lungs. I haven't been breathing this easy in years! Now if I could kick the crap out of my sinuses I'd be a happy camper. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> ~J
